• Ryan Osman Bringing controls out from design-time

  I'm using standard DesignSurface for control design in my custom editor and I'm trying to serialize designed controls with my custom serializator that simply recursively parses the root component and emits custom serialization data for each and every component. The problem is that some components contain objects that were created by their designers. For example, the MenuStrip in its Items collection has a DesignerToolStripMenuHost object tha ...Show All

• Joey.Net Simple Databinding in WinForm, but not using a DataGridView

  I have a WinForm with some standard controls on the surface.  I'm using a strongly typed DataSet as a return value from a Web Service.  I'm using a BindingSource to "connect" the columns in the DataSet with the controls. Using the above, I can populate the controls just fine.  My problem lies in getting changes back to the database.  Now, I realize that I will be using a Web Service for this, and I know I've got to provide a ...Show All

• Bart Devriendt Inheriting from Data Source Designer

  We are working on a project that will use plugin controls on a large scale (At least 200 controls.) We would like to create a base control that contains objects created with the Data Source Designer and inherit from this control.

The datasets are "public" as created by the designer ...Show All

• Participant Displaying small Icon on top of a Control (in Design Mode)

  I have a standalone forms designer up and running ( using the new designsurface). For some of my custom controls, that get created using my custom designer, I want to display some small icons on top of their drawing surface. I solved that for some "label" like controls by overriding their Paint() Method and draw some bitmap on top of them. But for some other controls I have (checkboxes,...) i cant properly paint over their drawing surfaces, beca ...Show All

• Kathy0505 BindingSource.Find throws exception on empty DataSet

  I have a problem with a bindindingSource very similar to the problem reported here but I've tried the solution outlined (explicitly setting the bindingSource's DataSource before the call to Find) but it doesn't help me (the DataSources for my BindingSources are correct) - so there's no chance for the DataSources to get set incorrectly. My situation is slightly different because I'm adding the BindingSources from the toolbox (not by ...Show All

• Dan_Icon Oh, the magic that the Tab key does (focus)

  [Using VS2005 Beta2...] The FocusRectangle is a very fickle thing. Create a form with two buttons on it. Create a KeyPress event for the form that cycles focus between the two buttons (turn on KeyPreview for the form): private void Form1_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {   if (button1.Focused)   {     button2.Focus();   }   else   {     button1.Focus();   ...Show All
